awa2.jpg.25aae2400209e6fcd3602652b57f62eb.jpg

The Soul Patrol (Mike Jones and Bobby Walker) defeat Two Local jobbers. These guys get over quick with their exciting gimmick and win the match when Jones gives his opponent a punch to the gut off the ropes and Walker follows with a sunset flip from the top rope. 

 

'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. King Kaluha 

Brandi's looking to get back on track after losing his TV title to Anvil. Kaluha recently made his AWA debut and wants to make waves here. Brandi has things going his way by using his speed and high flying offense. Brandi hits a Thesz Press but Kaluha holds on and hot shots Brandi on the top rope to get the pin. 

 

'The Mighty Yankee' Steve Disalvo vs. 'The Future' JW Storm 

Storm arrived at SuperClash and attacked Disalvo. Disalvo is looking for payback tonight and uses his power to pinball Storm around the ring. Storm comes back with power moves of his own. Disalvo regains control and hoists Storm up for his running shoulder breaker but Storm manages to grab the top rope and ends up pulling him and Disalvo over the top rope. They both fight on the outside going to a double countout. 

 

Cactus Jack vs. 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer 

This match is a straight up brawl as these guys fight inside and outside the ring. Jack puts up one hell of a fight but in the end, Sawyer wins it with a powerslam. After Sawyer leaves the ring, Cactus sits up and starts laughing then gives the bang bang with his fingers. 

 

'Lionheart' Tony St. Clair vs. 'The British Bruiser' Johnny Smith w/Les Thornton 

After his series with Colon, St. Clair changed his ways and wanted to go back to his wrestling roots. This didn't sit well with Thornton and he's ready to make the Parliament proud with Johnny Smith. St. Clair controls a lot of the match by outwrestling Smith. A trip by Thornton changes the tempo as Smith works St. Clair over with some brutal and hard hitting shots. St. Clair is able to withstand it and make a fired up comeback. St. Clair executes his floating butterfly suplex but Thornton runs in the ring to break it, causing a DQ. St. Clair goes after Thornton, but Thornton gets out of there quick. 

 

AWA National Tag Team Title Bout 

Latin Desire (C) vs. The Renegade Warriors 

Pretty damn good match as both teams give the fans an exciting see saw battle. Latin Desire's teamwork flows smoothly while the Warriors have tremendous chemistry. After 30 minutes, all 4 men are in the ring fighting. During the confusion, Mark has Lou up for a suplex but Al clips Mark behind the knees. The illegal man Al covers as the Ref counts 1..2..3! Chris is a second too late. Chris is trying to explain what happened. The Ref remains confused but still gives the match to the champs. 

 

AWA World Title Bout 

Hulk Hogan (C) vs. 'Olympian' Ken Patera w/Brad Rheingans

The Olympians get in some good pre match heat but that all changes when Eye of the Tiger blasts. Hogan gets the fans roaring with a fast start. He clotheslines both Olympians, then knocks their heads together, sending Brad out of the ring. The opening minutes is all Hogan. Patera takes advantage of a distraction by Brad and works over Hogan. Patera looks damn strong here and proves he's a serious threat. Patera gives Hogan all the strongman moves and gives the fans a few scares. Patera finally locks in his full nelson. The fans fire Hogan up. Hogan back pedals Patera into the turnbuckles and it's all Hogan now. Hogan punches Brad off the apron, then gives Patera several punches, swings him to the ropes, hits the big boot, swings off the ropes and hits the leg drop for the 1..2..3! MASSIVE POP! 

Hogan gives the fans his poses.

BUT WAIT! 

The Commission (Krueger and DeKlerk) come to ringside. They stare up at Hogan. Hogan sees them and warns them. 

From behind, Col Debeers enters the ring and hits Hogan's back with some kind of club. The Commission enter the ring and hold Hogan up. Debeers gives Hogan a shot in the gut with the club. Debeers picks up Hogan and delivers a front face piledriver! 

The Soul Patrol hit the ring with chairs as Debeers and the Commission exit. 

Hogan is laid out as the Soul Patrol check on him.

Kaluha may have been interrupted in his TV debut but his house show debut is a success.

Disalvo and Storm's first legal encounter settles nothing.

Cactus may have lost but at least he had fun.

Thornton saves his man the shame of a pinfall loss.

A confused ref costs the Renegades the National Tag Titles.

Hogan puts down Patera but The Commission was waiting in ambush.

What a night for the Soul Patrol. They start the night with a win and end it by saving the World Champion.

Footage is shown from the Mecca. Col Debeers attacks Hogan and hits him with a club. 

Larry Nelson: Hello everyone and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight, you will see two more first round tag team tournament matches. A lot of action tonight, but right now we're going to take you to pre recorded comments from the AWA world champion Hulk Hogan. 

hogan.jpg.7dd58c1b2a5ffc447a19d220c0ecf98d.jpg

Hogan: I knew you were a coward Col Debeers and once again you proved me right. Well let me tell you something brother, Hulkamania is going to take care of you once and for all. At the next Title Night in Winnipeg, I will put this world title on the line against you. BUT! Only on one condition. In a bootcamp match! That's right brother! I'm going to beat you at your own game. Now let's see if you have any guts at all. So Debeers, whatcha gonna do when the power of Hulkamania wins the war against youuuuuuuuuuu! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

David Sammartino vs. Clyde Putnam 

sammartino.jpg.abf6ea3bcad5774bc47f08de52a673cb.jpg

Sammartino is healed up from his Superclash cage match with Zbyszko and is looking good. He wins the match with a belly to belly suplex. 

 

Nelson: Ok, Saturday February 21st in Winnipeg, the AWA returns with another Title Night. David, you will face Terry Taylor for the International title. 

David: Larry, this is a tremendous opportunity and it seems Taylor is underestimating me. Hey, that's fine with me, because Zbyszko did the same thing. Get ready Rooster, because I'm walking out of your henhouse with the International title!

Konnan and Gama start off fast and control the early segment with quick tags and technical wrestling that frustrates the Starrs. The momentum changes thanks to a forearm blast from the apron by Ron on Gama. The Starrs control with heel  double teaming and rough house tactics. Ron tags in Chicky. Ron slams Gama as Chicky follows with a corkscrew elbow drop 1..2..Konnan breaks it. Eventually Gama makes the hot tag and Konnan shows off his Lucha Libre style on both Starrs. Konnan nails Ron with a diving clothesline. Chicky runs in but Gama is all over him and dropkicks him out of the ring. Konnan swings Ron to the ropes and hits a sidewalk slam 1..2..3! 

Swords of Light advance

After a series of power moves, Disalvo finishes things off with a running shoulder breaker.

Commercial Break 

 

Jimmy 'The Stud' Golden vs. Neil Jordan 

golden.jpg.7a412933cf909f164639f3c61b26d91a.jpg

Golden beats down his opponent and wins the match with the piledriver. 

 

Nelson: Fans, after what happened last week, thankfully Leo Burke's neck is not broken. He will be out of action for a bit but says he'll definitely be back and he'll be coming for you Jimmy. Jimmy, you piledrove the man on the concrete for goodness sakes. Why?! 

Golden: Well it's real simple. That boy meddled in my business and got what was com'n to him. Nobody gets in my face! (holds up his fist) This fist will knock you out and my piledriver will put you in the hospital. Just ask Leo Burke. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

We see highlights of El Canek in Mexico and Carlos Colon in Puerto Rico. Both men will be returning to the AWA soon. 

 

'The British Bruiser' Johnny Smith w/Les Thornton vs. Carl Kellerman 

jsmith.jpg.d3c7d5e336ad9ae16111054d5141de01.jpg

Smith easily handles his opponent and wins the match with the Snake Eyes on the top turnbuckle. 

 

Nelson: Les, it seems Tony St. Clair is more than ready for you and the British Bruiser. 

Les: Oh is that right? Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. Johnny Smith is the pride of the Parliament and he's going to send Mr. St. Clair into exile because trust me, the UK doesn't even want that traitor. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Col. Debeers w/The Commission vs. Ray Glader 

debeers.jpg.143ea1a8b99034d48aaa2da21402d2da.jpgDK.jpg.e5dfd24ef4fa12b02792fed4c1e1a974.jpg

Nuclear heat for Debeers. He toys with his opponent before finishing him off with the front face piledriver. 

 

Nelson: Col Debeers, you heard the challenge made by Hulk Hogan. You get a world title shot at Title Night but only if you accept a bootcamp match. 

Debeers (twirls his mustache) I always knew Hulk Hogan was a fool. I will gladly accept his conditions. Before I get to that, I want to address the 2 untouchables that interfered in our business that night in Milwaukee. (Looks at the Commission) Your first orders are to terminate those two untouchables. 

Commission:(in unison) Yes sir! 

Debeers: As for you Hulk Hogan. The so called Real American. I've waited a long time for this moment. At Title Night I'm going to relish every moment as I dissect you piece by piece. You have all these idiots fooled. You have all the powers that be in the AWA fooled. But not me! I will expose all of your fears and weaknesses when we meet. You're coming into the War Zone and you will be soundly defeated. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

The Hangman w/Nell vs. Dean Hoosier 

hangman.jpg.18fefd7eba91761e11c8fb97dd7f775f.jpg

Nell walks around the ring in his western preacher's suit and white hat.

Hangman annihilates his opponent and finishes things off with the Hangman's Neckbreaker. 

 

Nelson: (nervous) I know Brutus Beefcake must be a concern after what your man did to him a few weeks ago. 

Nell: (very soft spoken) Oh you mean when he put that there noose around that poor tortured soul's neck and hung him? 

The Hangman puts his noose around Larry's neck. Larry freaks out and runs away. 

Nell picks up the mic and looks into the camera. 

Nell: The Hangman is here. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

1st round World Tag Team Title Contender's Tournament 

 

The Mavericks vs. The Jive Tones w/Tiger Conway Jr. 

embry.jpg.653b986176f088522c60462bc72f61dd.jpgyoung.jpg.510b0180f8cdfff20c4f845d9d006757.jpgshaska1.jpg.5aca430ffdb24559917fdbbd938d8f46.jpgsbs.jpg.068fb3bdf77a51a67e24830d9a59727d.jpg

It doesn't take long before both teams get aggressive. The match is hard hitting. The Mavericks have the edge until interference from Conway changes that. The Jive Tones capitalize and control a good portion. The Mavericks make a comeback and have some serious momentum going. Embry puts Whatley down with a flying back elbow blast. Skip runs in and so does Gary. While the Ref is tied up with them, Conway slides a chair to Whatley. Whatley staggers up with the chair but Embry kicks Whatley and takes the chair. Whatley falls down. Conway screams at the Ref. The Ref turns around and sees Whatley down and sees Embry with the chair. Conway's yelling at the Ref that Embry used the chair. The Ref signals for the DQ and awards the match to the Jive Tones. Conway enters the ring laughing and celebrating. Embry says the hell with it and hits Conway over the head with the chair! That gets a big pop. 

The Jive Tones advance.

Hogan throws the gauntlet down and challenges Debeers to a Boot Camp match. The Colonel accepts but not before siccing the Commission on the Soul Patrol.

David is on point heading into Title Night

The Swords of Light shine.

JW Storm doesn't realize what he's done pissing off the Mighty Yankee.

Golden sends the locker room a clear message. Don't stick your nose in the Stud's business!

Les is certainly confident in his British Bruiser.

Can't blame Nelson for being freaked out by Nell and the Hangman.

Some quick thinking by Conway leads to the Jive Tones advance but Embry makes him pay for it.
